2021 Festival Details

2021 is the centenary of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and therefore the theme this year is events in British history.

This may be:

  • Kings and Queens
  • Wars and battles
  • Fashion
  • Industry
  • Science
  • Sport
  • or anything else you can think of.  The possibilities are endless.

All entrants must make a donation (link here) and all money will go to the Ackworth Heritage Fund which helps to preserve Ackworth's history.

An organiser will email you a unique number to display on your completed scarecrow.  This email may take a few days to arrive.
